A Newtownabbey mother and her five-year-old daughter have been "left homeless" after their home was destroyed in a house fire.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, single mum Nicole says that she was awoken by her smoke alarm after a fire started in the utility room of her house in the Longlands area.
She said that thankfully her five-year-old daughter Cora was not in the house at the time and she quickly rescued her dog and made it out of the property safely until firefighters arrived.
